Greeting' 

The  Christian  Association  of  Cor- 
nell University  extends  greetings  to 
all  new  students  and  invites  them  to 
avail  themselves  of  the  privileges  of 
Barnes  Hall. 

A directory,  containing  a complete 
list  of  rooms  and  boarding-houses, 
and  arranged  by  streets,  is  pub- 
lished by  the  Association  early  in 
September  each  year.  This  direc- 
tory contains  particulars  regarding 
price  of  rooms,  size  and  arrange- 
ment, single,  double,  or  suites, 
method  of  heating,  lighting,  and 
states  whether  there  is  a bath  in  the 
house.  It  is  for  free  distribution  to 
all  who  apply  at  the  office  in  Barnes 
Hall. 

During  examination  and  registra- 
tion weeks  in  the  fall,  a committee 
wearing-  badges  meets  all  the  trains, 
and  other  committees  are  in  attend- 
ance at  Barnes  Hall  to  give  informa- 
tion and  assistance  either  regarding 
board  and  rooms  or  other  University 
matters. 

On  your  arrival  in  Ithaca  you  are 
cordially  invited  to  come  directly  to 
Barnes  Hall,  where  you  may  leave 
your  baggage  and  parcels,  and  con- 
sult the  committee.  You  may  also 
direct  your  mail  here  until  you  are 
located,  and  are  urged  to  make  free 
use  of  the  building,  with  its  reading- 
room  and  parlors,  for  recreation  or 
study. 

The  electric  cars  run  from  all  sta- 


tions  to  the  Library  building,  near 
the  centre  of  the  campus.  Passen- 
gers entering  the  city  by  the  E.  C.  & 
N.  division  of  the  Lehigh  Valley  R.R. 
transfer  to  the  main  car  line  near  the 
entrance  to  the  campus. 

We  present  this  guide  as  contain- 
ing, in  a condensed  and  available 
form,  a large  amount  of  that  special 
information  which  has  been  found  to 
be  of  value  to  those  who  come  here 
for  the  first  time,  and  we  hope  that 
with  this  as  an  introduction  you  will 
seek  a further  acquaintance  with, 
and  interest  in,  our  organization,  in 
order  that  we  may  mutually  help  one 
ahother  in  the  furtherance  of  a 
spiritual  life.

A Suggestion 

One’s  college  life  is  a time  of  prep- 
aration for  the  sterner  work  of  after 
years.  The  true  man  or  woman  is 
the  moral  and  religious,  as  well  as 
intellectual  and  physical.  In  the 
preparation  for  life,  then,  moral  and 
religious  culture  should  not  be 
slighted.  This  is  particularly  true 
during  college  years,  when  intellec- 
tual development  is  rapid  and  one’s 
real  character  is  being  subjected  to 
so  many  tests  and  temptations. 

The  Christian  life  is  not  merely  a 
matter  of  theory  and  correct  think- 
ing; it  is  action,  Christian  fellowship 
and  helpfulness.  Doubt  and  indiffer- 
ence may  destroy  faith  and  fellow- 
ship. The  remedy  for  both  is  ear- 
nest, sincere  Christian  activity. 
Growth  results  from  action.  The 
student  owes  it  to  himself  to  decide 
at  the  very  beginning  of  his  college 
course  to  give  a fair  share  of  time 
and  energy  to  the  development  of  his 
spiritual  nature. 

The  Christian  Association  of  Cor- 
nell University  is  an  organization 
for  the  promotion  of  Christian  life 
and  activity  in  the  student  body.  It 
emphasizes  not  creed  but  Christlike 
living.  Through  it  the  student  may 
not  only  receive  the  benefits  of 
Christian  fellowship,  but  he  may  also 
use  his  own  efforts  most  effectively 
for  the  encouragement  of  a religious 
life  among  his  fellows.  The  Associa- 
tion invites  every  student  to  join 
with  it  for  the  promotion  of  Christian 
manhood  and  womanhood. 


11 


Directions  for  ftew  Students 


Carefully  study  the  pages  of  the 
Register  treating  of  admission  and 
classification.  Send  early  by  mail 
to  the  Registrar  your  certificate  of 
character,  Regents’  diplomas,  or 
school  certificates.  You  will  be  in- 
formed by  mail  what  examinations 
you  must  take.  On  your  arrival  in 
Ithaca  report  at  the  Registrar’s 
office,  middle  entrance  Morrill  Hall, 
where  a card  of  admission  to  your 
examinations  will  be  given  you. 
Graduate  students  report  directly  to 
the  Dean  of  the  Faculty. 

Enter  the  examination  rooms  with- 
out knocking,  take  a seat  and  wait 
for  the  examination  papers  to  be 
brought  to  you.  Provide  yourself 
with  pencil  or  fountain  pen,  erasers, 
but  no  paper. 

If  you  are  prepared  to  “ pass  up  ” 
any  of  the  subjects  of  your  course, 
you  will  find  it  to  your  advantage  to 
do  so  and  take  others  in  their  stead. 

All  University  bills  are  settled  at 
the  Treasurer’s  office. 

A graduating  thesis  is  demanded 
of  every  candidate  for  a degree, 
but,  with  this  exception,  students  in 
the  academic  department  are  free  to 
elect  all  their  studies,  subject  only 
to  the  limitations  prescribed  by 
each  department  of  instruction. 
Students  are,  however,  advised  to 
lay  out  definite  and  systematic  lines 
of  study  for  their  entire  course. 
The  studies  of  all  other  courses  than 


12 


the  academic  are  prescribed,  and 
must  be  taken  in  order. 

MARKS 

Examination  papers  are  marked 
on  a scale  of  100  (perfection) . In  or- 
der to  pass  an  examination  in  re- 
quired work  one  must  receive  at 
least  60.  If  the  mark  is  between  41 
and  60,  one  is  said  to  be  conditioned 
in  that  subject,  and  is  allowed  to  try 
the  examination  again  the  next  year, 
or  at  some  appointed  time.  But  if 
one  receives  less  than  41,  he  is  said 
to  have  been  “ busted,”  and  he  must 
take  the  subject  again  in  class. 

In  examinations  an  appeal  is  made 
to  the  student’s  honor.  There  are  no 
proctors. 

ROOMS  AND  BOARD 

There  are  no  college  dormitories, 
except  Sage  College  for  the  women. 
The  directory  of  boarding  and  lodg- 
ing places  (p.  5)  will  give  complete  in- 
formation regarding  location.  Com- 
mittees of  the  Association,  both  of 
men  and  of  women,  will  be  in  Barnes 
Hall  during  each  day  from  Sept.  13 
to  Sept.  23,  to  render  all  assistance 
within  their  power  to  new  students. 

If  you  arrive  before  night,  take  a 
transfer  at  once  to  Barnes  Hall,  and 
you  can  probably  get  located  perma- 
nently without  going  to  a hotel. 
Fair  rooms  without  board  can  be  had 
at  from  one  to  four  dollars  a week,  or 
75  cents  to  two  dollars  each  where 
two  room  together.  Good  board  can 
be  had  for  three  dollars  a week,  and 
better  board  from  three  and  a half  to 


13 


five  dollars.  By  means  of  clubs  these 
rates  may  be  somewhat  reduced.  Do 
not  engage  rooms  or  board  hastily, 
unless  by  the  advice  of  a friend  who 
knows  about  prices.  There  is  a 
growing  tendency  to  room  on  the 
hill  near  the  University.  A few  good 
rooms  with  board,  but  at  some  little 
distance  from  the  University,  may 
be  had  at  three  dollars  and  a half 
per  week.  These  are  taken  early. 

Rooms  to  rent  for  students  are 
found  both  on  the  hill  and  down  in 
the  city.  There  are  a few  good  rooms 
on  the  campus,  and  a limited  number 
in  Cascadilla  Place  and  Barnes  Hall. 
With  few  exceptions,  rooms  are  tur- 
n's tied. 


Library 

Library  hours,  daily,  except  Sun- 
day, 8 a.  m.  to  9.30  p.  m.;  Saturday,  8 
a.  m.  to  5 p.  m.;  during  summer,  9 
a.  m.  to  5 p.  m.  The  Library  contains 
200,000  volumes  and  30,000  pamphlets. 
The  White  Historical  Library  con- 
tains 30,000  volumes  and  10,000  pam- 
phlets, the  gift  of  the  private  library 
of  ex-President  Andrew  Dickson 
White.  University  officers  alone  have 
full  access  to  the  stacks.  Graduate 
students  may  receive  a limited  per- 
mit, granting  access  to  stacks  upon 
application  to  the  librarian.  Other 
students  may  receive  special  permit 
upon  recommendation  of  the  pro- 
fessor under  whom  special  work  is 
being  done.  About  8,000  volumes  of 
general  reference  books  are  placed 
round  about  the  reading-room  and 


14 


are  accessible  to  all  students.  The 
law  of  silence  prevails  in  the  reading- 
room.  Current  papers  and  period- 
icals may  be  found  in  the  periodical 
room.  Feel  perfectly  free  to  ask 
questions  of  the  attendants.  The 
librarian  will  be  pleased  to  meet  you 
on  your  first  visit  to  the  library,  and 
to  explain  in  detail  the  use  of  the 
catalogue  and  index  systems.  For 
the  Department  Libraries,  see  p.  48. 


Gymnasium  and  Armory 

The  Armory,  150  feet  long  and  60 
feet  wide,  serves  as  a place  for  mil- 
itary drill  in  stormy  and  winter 
weather,  and  as  the  main  floor  of  the 
gymnasium  where  the  athletic  teams 
train.  This  room  is  equipped  with 
the  apparatus  usually  found  in  a 
well-furnished  gymnasium.  The  an- 
nex contains  a large  room  for  class 
exercise,  the  crew  room,  bowling 
alleys,  shooting  gallery,  trophy  and 
band  rooms,  the  lockers  and  baths 

Prof.  E.  Hitchcock,  Jr.,  is  the  di- 
rector, but  the  work  of  the  students 
is  in  charge  of  the  instructor  of  gym- 
nastics, Mr.  H.  H.  Lannigan.  See  pi 
46  for  office  hours.  Sick  excuses  are 
obtained  from  Dr.  Hitchcock. 

The  use  of  the  gymnasium  is  free 
to  all  students.  For  the  use  of  a 
locker  a charge  of  75  cents  per  term 
is  made,  payable  at  the  office  of  the 
Treasurer  of  the  University.  A ticket, 
entitling  the  student  to  a locker,  is 
given  by  the  Treasurer,  and  applica- 
tion must  be  made  at  the  office  of  the 


15 


physical  director,  in  the  annex  of  the 
gym.,  within  ten  days  from  registra- 
tion day  of  each  term.  Any  student 
failing  to  make  such  application  runs 
the  risk  of  losing  his  locker  held  any 
previous  term.  A locker  may  be  re- 
served for  the  year  by  payment  of 
$2.25  at  the  beginning  of  the  fall 
term. 

The  gymnasium  contains  shower, 
tub,  and  Turkish  baths,  and  a swim- 
ming tank,  which  are  open  to  all 
students.  A few  free  lockers  are 
placed  near  the  baths  for  the  con- 
venience of  such  as  have  no  private 
lockers. 

SAGE  COLLEGE  GYMNASIUM 

A new  gymnasium,  most  thorough- 
ly equipped  with  modern  apparatus, 
was  constructed  for  the  women  of 
the  University  in  the  spacious  addi- 
tion to  Sage  College  made  in  the  fall 
of  1895.  By  the  generous  endowment 
of  the  donor  whose  name  this  build- 
ing bears,  the  women  have  placed 
within  their  reach,  privileges  equal, 
if  not  superior,  to  those  of  the  men. 
Miss  E.  B.  Canfield  is  director  of  the 
department  of  physical  culture  in 
Sage  College. 


16 


Students’  Guild 


The  Students’  Guild  is  an  organiza- 
tion which  receives  voluntary  sub- 
scriptions for  the  aid  of  sick  stu- 
dents who  may  be  in  need.  Once 
during  each  year,  at  the  beginning 
of  a term,  a subscription  of  25  cents 
is  asked  from  all  students  for  the 
benefit  of  the  fund.  The  manage- 
ment and  disbursement  of  funds  is 
in  the  hands  of  a committee,  com- 
posed of  three  members  of  the  Fac- 
ulty, the  general  secretary  of  the 
Christian  Association,  and  five  stu-. 
dents,  one  from  each  class,  and  one 
from  the  law  school.  Prof.  Geo.  P. 
Bristol  is  chairman  of  the  committee. 

The  Guild  holds  in  trust  the  ’91 
memorial  ward  in  the  city  hospital. 


Information  Bureau 

Students  coming  to  the  University 
with  the  intention  of  paying  part  of 
their  expenses  by  working  will  find 
it  to  their  advantage  to  consult  the 
general  secretary  in  Barnes  Hall. 
Persons  desiring  work  done,  fre- 
quently communicate  with  the  sec- 
retary, thus  affording  applicants  for 
work,  an  opportunity  to  secure  em- 
ployment. It  is  one  of  the  pleas- 
ures of  the  secretary  to  consult  with 
students  regarding  all  matters  in 
which  he  may  be  of  assistance.

Organization 

The  Association  was  organized 
early  in  1869— the  first  year  of  the 
University’s  existence.  During  the 
time  between  its  formation  and  the 
spring  of  1874,  its  meetings  were  held 
for  short  periods  in  Cascadilla  Place, 
The  Dutch  Reformed  church,  where 
the  Congregational  church  now  is 
erected,  the  Library  building,  the 
First  Methodist  church,  the  Presby- 
terian chapel.  In  1874,  largely 
through  the  munificence  of  ex-Pres- 
ident  White,  a beautiful  room  was 
fitted  up  in  White  Hall,  which  re- 
mained the  home  of  the  Association 
until  its  removal  in  1889  to  Barnes 
Hall.  The  Association  is  the  one 
central  organization  for  Christian 
work  in  the  University,  and  is  a 
branch  of  that  great  central  organi- 
zation of  the  Young  Men’s  Christian 
Association  which  encircles  the 
world. 

OBJECT 

The  object  of  the  Association  is  to 
promote  Christian  fellowship  and 
earnest  living  among  Christian  stu- 
dents, and  to  carry  on  active  Chris- 
tian work  in  the  University  and  com- 
munity. 

MEMBERS 

The  Association  is  composed  of 
both  men  and  women.  No  denom- 
inational distinctions  or  require- 
ments are  made.  All  Christians  are 
welcomed,  and  a simple  acknowl- 


18 


edgm^nt  of  allegiance  to  Christ,  and 
a pledge  to  unite  earnestly  in  Chris- 
tian work,  is  deemed  sufficient  for 
admission  to  active  membership. 
Any  one  of  good  moral  character 
may  join  as  an  associate  member. 

We  believe  that  it  is  to  the  advan- 
tage of  Christians  to  connect  them- 
selves early  in  their  course  with  the 
Association  and  its  work.  New  stu- 
dents are  earnestly  invited  to  make 
themselves  known  to  us  the  first 
week , and  are  recommended  to  unite 
by  letter  or  otherwise,  with  some 
church  in  the  city. 

BARNES  HALL— PURPOSE  AND  HISTORY 

The  purpose  of  Barnes  Hall  is  pri- 
marily to  furnish  a home  and  center 
for  the  religious  life  of  the  whole 
University.  By  means  of  its  attrac- 
tive reading-room  and  libraries,  its 
parlors,  and  its  frequent  social  occa- 
sions, it  furnishes  a common  meet- 
ing-place for  all  men  and  women  of 
the  University,  at  all  times. 

The  growth  of  membership  in  the 
fall  of  1886,  coupled  with  the  lack  of 
suitable  rooms,  inspired  the  Associa- 
tion to  vote  the  erection  of  a build- 
ing as  soon  as  practicable,  and  a 
committee  of  students  was  appoint- 
ed to  consider  the  project.  Within 
three  weeks  the  members  of  the  As- 
sociation had  pledged  over  $9,000. 
The  earnestness  of  these  efforts  at- 
tracted the  attention,  at  the  Com- 
mencement of  ’87,  of  the  late  Alfred 
S.  Barnes,  Esq.,  of  New  York  city, 
then  a trustee  of  the  University,  who 


19 


made  a careful  study  of  the  work 
and  aims  of  the  Association. 

As  a result  of  his  consideration,  he 
soon  made  known  his  intention  of 
erecting  a building  for  the  use  of  the 
Association,  to  cost  at  least  $40,000, 
which  amount  he  afterward  in- 
creased to  $45,000.  The  building  was 
completed  at  a cost  of  $55,000,  and 
was  dedicated  to  “the  promotion  of 
God’s  truth  among  men”  on  June  16, 
1889. 

The  building  is  open  every  week- 
day from  8 a.  m.  to  8 p.  m.,  and  on 
Sunday  from  9 a.  m.  to  8 p.  m. 

READING-ROOM 

The  reading-room  is  the  most  beau- 
tiful room  on  the  campus  to  which 
the  students  have  access.  Here 
there  are  kept  on  file  nineteen  daily 
newspapers,  twenty-eight  weekly 
papers,  and  twenty-six  monthly 
magazines.  The  student  body  at 
large  should  render  material  aid  in 
support  of  this  department  of  the 
Association. 

LIBRARIES 

The  Barnes  library  contains  about 
nine  hundred  volumes  of  most  care- 
fully selected  works,  including  com- 
mentaries and  other  books  for  Bibli- 
cal reference,  Old  and  New  Testa- 
ment history,  Christian  evidence, 
and  many  other  valuable  aids  to 
both  advanced  and  elementary  study 
of  the  Greek  and  English  Bible. 
This  collection  is  the  gift  of  Gen- 
A.  C.  Barnes,  of  New  York  city,  son 
of  the  donor  of  Barnes  Hall. 


20 


The  “ Mary  Bartlett  Hill  Memorial 
Library  ” contains  a limited  number 
of  books,  directly  pertaining  to 
Christian  helpfulness. 

The  Missionary  Library  is  the  re- 
sult of  the  increasing  interest  in  the 
study  of  missions  by  the  members  of 
the  Association,  and  contains  a num- 
ber of  volumes  of  great  value  to  the 
work  of  the  missionary  department. 
Individuals  are  constantly  adding 
by  personal  donation  to  this  collec- 
tion. A large  number  of  missionary 
magazines  may  be  found  on  file  in 
the  reading-room. 

GENERAL  SECRETARY 

The  size  of  the  Association  and  the 
increase  of  opportunity  and  respon- 
sibility resulting  from  the  occupancy 
of  its  present  home  have  necessitated 
the  employment  of  a general  secre- 
tary, elected  annually,  who  should 
give  close  attention  to  the  adminis- 
tration of  the  growing  work  of  the 
Association. 

By  vote  of  the  board  of  trustees  of 
the  Association,  confirmed  by  the 
Association,  the  first  secretary,  Mr. 
R.  S.  Miller,  now  engaged  in 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  work  in  Tokio,  Japan, 
was  elected  for  the  year  1888-’89.  By 
a similar  vote,  Mr.  H.  W.  Hicks,  for- 
merly of  the  class  of  ’94,  Oberlin  Col- 
lege,was  re-elected  to  the  secretary- 
ship for  the  year  1897- ’98.  Those  who 
have  held  the  office  up  to  the  pres- 
ent time  are  R.  S.  Miller,  ’88, 1888-’90; 
L.  H.  Galbraith,  ’90,  1890— ’91 ; Henry 
Floy,  ’91,  1891-’92;  J.  M.  Gorham,  ’92, 
1892-’94;  F.  N.  Loveland,  ’94,  1894-’95; 
H.  W.  Hicks,  1895-’97. 


21 


The  secretary  will  be  glad  to  wel- 
come any  member  of  the  University 
to  whom  he  may  be  of  service,  in  his 
office,  on  the  main  floor  of  Barnes 
Hall,  where  he  may  be  found  during 
the  hours  from  12:15  to  1 daily,  and 
from  5:15  to  6 p.  m.,  daily,  except 
Saturday. 

VOLUNTARY  RELIGIOUS  MEETINGS 

Sunday  Afternoon  Meeting. — Every 
Sunday  afternoon  at  4 p.  m.  a general 
religious  meeting  of  the  University 
is  held  in  Barnes  Hall,  which  is  pre- 
sided over  by  the  president  of  the 
Association.  Either  a student  or 
some  invited  speaker  conducts  the 
meeting. 

Class  Prayer-meetings. — The  differ- 
ent class  prayer-meetings  are  held 
in  Barnes  Hall  every  Wednesday 
evening  in  separate  class  rooms  at  7 
p.  m.,  lasting  forty  minutes.  Every 
student  should  aid  in  the  attendance 
of  his  class  prayer-meeting.  Once  a 
month  these  meetings  are  merged 
into  a general  prayer-meeting. 

In  the  class  meetings  the  specials, 
graduates,  and  Senior  law  students 
meet  with  the  Seniors;  Junior  laws 
with  the  Juniors. 

Bible  Study— The  Association  has 
arranged  a systematic  course  of 
Bible  study,  extending  throughout 
the  residence  of  the  regular  student, 
and  which  all  entering  the  Univer- 
sity are  urged  to  take  in  order  of 
arrangement.  The  “ Life  of  Christ” 
has  proved  the  best  material  for  the 
course  of  devotional  study  offered 
by  the  Association  in  the  Freshman 


22 


year,  giving  a foundation  for  the 
study  of  the  following  years.  The 
Sophomores  study  the  “Teachings 
of  Christ,”  based  on  the  parables 
and  miracles.  The  “ Life  of  Paul  ” 
will  be  given  for  Juniors,  and  the 
“ Book  of  Job  ” for  Seniors  and  grad- 
uate students.  Law  students  will 
find  the  Junior  and  Senior  courses 
especially  adapted  to  their  needs. 
Special  and  optional  students  are 
free  to  select  any  course.  A training 
class  is  conducted  for  the  benefit  of 
those  who  desire  to  fit  themselves 
for  personal  work.  These  courses 
are  supplemented  by  lectures  de- 
signed to  arouse  and  maintain  inter- 
est in  Bible  study.  It  is  most  im- 
portant that  each  student  begin  and 
continue  in  some  systematic  and  pro- 
gressive study  of  the  Bible.  The 
Bible  classes  meet  at  9:30  a.  m.  Sun- 
days, unless  by  vote  of  the  members 
another  time  be  selected. 

Mission  Study.  — The  missionary 
department  of  the  Association  con- 
ducts every  Friday  evening,  from  7 
to  8 p.  m.,  in  Barnes  Hall,  a class  for 
mission  study.  The  missionary  com- 
mittee takes  charge  of  at  least  eight 
Sunday  afternoon  meetings  during 
the  year,  presenting  the  field  of 
mission  work,  its  needs  and  suc- 
cesses, thereby  endeavoring  to  in- 
culcate a thorough  knowledge  of 
Christian  missions,  and  to  arouse 
and  maintain  practical  interest  in 
both  foreign  and  home  fields. 

Missionary  Finance. — It  is  planned 
to  give  each  year  a generous  amount 
of  money  to  foreign  missions.  The 


23 


habit  of  systematic  giving  should  be 
formed,  whereby  each  student  shall 
lay  aside  a fixed  proportion  of  his 
allowance  for  benevolent  purposes, 
assuring  an  adequate  and  fair  distri- 
bution for  all  calls  made  upon  him. 
Cards  for  registering  the  amount  of 
your  annual  subscription  to  missions 
will  be  handed  you  soon  after  your 
entrance  to  the  University.  Plan  to 
contribute  liberally  and  voluntarily 
to  this  cause. 

Vesper  Services . — Vesper  services 
for  women  are  held  in  Sage  College 
on  Monday,  Tuesday,  Thursday,  and 
Friday  evenings  of  each  week,  at 
6:45. 

Social. — The  privileges  afforded  in 
Barnes  Hall  for  frequent  social  in- 
tercourse are  many.  Frequent  recep- 
tions are  given  to  the  whole  or  to 
parts  of  the  body  of  students.  Re- 
ceptions are  given  two  or  three 
times  every  year  by  each  of  the 
denominational  societies.  Annual 
receptions  are  given  during  the 
opening  week  of  the  fall  term,  on 
Thanksgiving  evening,  at  Christmas 
for  students  remaining  in  the  city, 
Washington’s  Birthday,  and  Found- 
er’s Day. 

The  ANNUAL  RECEPTION  to  the 
new  men  students  will  be  given  in 
Barnes  Hall  on  Friday,  September 
24,  at  8 p.  m.;  the  reception  to  the 
new  women  students  on  Monday, 
September  27,  at  8 p.  m.  The  annual 
reception  to  new  students,  both  men 
and  women,  will  be  held  Tuesday 
evening,  September  28,  1897.  You 
are  cordially  invited  to  these  re- 
ceptions.

ENDOWMENT  FUND 

The  greatest  need  of  the  Associa- 
tion is  an  endowment  with  sufficient 
income  to  meet  current  expenses. 
Such  an  endowment  would  immedi- 
ately permit  of  enlarged  and  more 
effective  service  in  every  depart- 
ment of  the  Association,  while  most 
of  the  time  and  energy  now  conse- 
crated to  a severe  financial  canvass 
might  then  be  directed,  with  great 
results,  to  new  fields  of  religious 
work  and  development.  Outlines  of 
the  scheme  for  raising  this  fund,  in- 
corporating the  plans  both  of  recent 
officers  and  the  donor  of  the  build- 
ing, may  be  secured  from  the  general 
secretary. 

PUBLICATION 

The  Association  Bulletin  is  a forty- 
page  paper,  published  once  a term, 
containing  the  record  of  the  work, 
plans  for  the  future,  and  articles  of 
interest  relating  to  the  Association. 
The  Bulletin  is  a membership  privi- 
lege.

World’s  Student  Christian 
Federation 


In  August,  1895,  within  the  ancient 
Swedish  castle  of  Yadstena,  Lake 
Wettern,  Scandinavia,  delegates 
representing  Christian  work  among 
students  of  all  the  great  Protestant 
powers  of  the  world,  formed  the 
World’s  Student  Christian  Federa- 
tion. Representatives  were  present 
from  the  American  Intercollegiate 
Young  Men’s  Christian  Association? 
the  British  College  Christian  Union, 
the  German  Christian  Students’  Al- 
liance, the  Scandinavian  University 
Christian  Movement,  and  the  Stu- 
dent Christian  Movement  in  Mission 
Lands.  Founded  amid  intense  prayer, 
and  by  consecrated  leaders,  this  fed- 
eration unites  the  national  intercol- 
legiate movements  in  the  great  work 
of  winning  the  students  of  the  world 
for  Christ,  and  of  sending  them  out 
into  the  world  to  work  for  Him. 

Five  other  movements  have  since 
been  received  into  membership, — the 
Intercollegiate  Young  Men’s  Chris- 
tian Association  of  India  and  Cey- 
lon; the  Australasian  Student  Chris- 
tian Union;  the  Student  Christian 
Union  of  South  Africa;  the  College 
Young  Men’s  Christian  Association 
of  China;  and  the  Student  Young 
Men’s  Christian  Association  Union 
of  Japan.  Delegates  from  each  of  the 
ten  organizations  convened  in  the 
First  International  Conference  of 
the  Federation,  at  Williams  College 
June,  1897.  Who  can  measure  the 
possibilities  of  this  great  student 
brotherhood  in  Jesus  Christ?

Intercollegiate  Young  Men’s 
Christian  Association 

FOUNDED  JUNE,  1877 

The  general  supervision  of  the 
Association  work  among  the  colleges 
of  North  America  is  in  the  hands  of 
the  College  Committee  of  the  Inter- 
national Committee  of  Young  Men’s 
Christian  Associations.  Under  the 
guidance  of  this  committee, the  num- 
ber of  College  Associations  has  in- 
creased from  26  in  1877,  with  1,300 
members,  to  over  530  in  1897,  in 
America  alone,  with  a membership 
of  about  32,000. 

The  intercollegiate  movement  em- 
ploys four  traveling  secretaries  and 
one  office  secretary,  through  whom 
intercollegiate  relations  are  main- 
tained. The  traveling  secretaries 
visit  the  colleges,  assist  in  strength- 
ening existing  Associations,  organ- 
ize new  Associations,  conserve  re- 
sults, concentrate  energy,  and 
broaden  the  field  of  influence  of  the 
Christian  men  in  the  various  institu- 
tions. The  office  secretary  collects 
and  tabulates  statistics,  conducts 
general  correspondence  with  the 
colleges,  edits  publications,  etc. 
The  secretaries  also  plan  and  con- 
duct the  World’s  Student  Confer- 
ences held  yearly  in  Northfield, 
Mass.,  Lake  Geneva,  Wis.,  Knox- 
ville, Tenn.,  and  Pacific  Grove,  Cal.; 
and  in  many  other  ways  train  lead- 
ers for  the,  college  work. 

The  Cornell  Association  makes  an 
annual  contribution  for  the  support 
of  the  intercollegiate  work.

Student  Volunteer  Movement 

FOR 

Foreign  Missions 

The  Student  Volunteer  Movement 
was  organized  in  1886,  at  Mt.  Her- 
mon,  Mass.  Its  purpose  is  to  enlist 
and  unite  students  in  the  purpose  to 
become  foreign  missionaries,  to  the 
end  that  the  world  may  be  evangel- 
ized in  the  present  generation.  Four 
thousand  volunteers  have  been  en- 
rolled in  five  hundred  universities, 
colleges,  seminaries,  professional 
and  preparatory  schools  of  America, 
and  seven  hundred  have  entered  act- 
ive service  in  foreign  countries.  All 
who  become  volunteers  sign  the  fol- 
lowing declaration:  “It  is  my  pur- 
pose, if  God  permit,  to  become  a for- 
eign missionary.” 


Northfield 

The  World’s  Student  Conference  is 
held  each  year,  for  ten  days,  begin- 
ning during  the  last  week  of  June,  at 
East  Northfield,  Mass.  In  1897,  over 
six  hundred  delegates,  from  more 
than  one  hundred  and  thirty  col- 
leges, spent  these  days  in  confer- 
ence, Bible  study,  and  Christian  fel- 
lowship, under  the  direction  of  the 
Intercollegiate  Young  Men’s  Chris- 
tian Association  of  America,  as  a 
training  for  organized  aggressive 
Christian  work  among  students. 
Expenses  while  at  Northfield  amount 
to  seventeen  dollars,  with  railroad 
fare  extra.  Cornell  sends  a delega- 
tion to  the  men's  conference,  and 
also  to  the  women’s  conference, 
which  convenes  about  July  10,  for  ten 
days.

Societies 


RELIGIOUS 

Denominational  Societies. — For  the 
purpose  of  social  intercourse  and 
denominational  friendship,  the  fol- 
lowing societies  hold  social  meet- 
ings at  intervals:  The  Presbyterian 
Union,  the  Methodist  Alliance,  the 
Baptist  Circle,  the  Episcopal  Union, 
the  Liberal  Unity  League,  and  the 
Catholic  Union. 

DEBATING  SOCIETIES 

The  debating  interests  of  Cornell 
are  under  the  general  supervision  of 
the  Cornell  Union , which,  through 
the  Debate  Council , arranges  inter- 
collegiate and  inter-society  debates, 
and  also  strives  to  “ foster  interests 
of  public  speaking  in  the  Univer- 
sity.” 

The  Cornell  Congress  is  organized 
on  the  plan  of  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives, and  has  for  its  object  the 
improvement  of  its  members  in  a 
knowledge  of  political  subjects  and 
in  skill  in  parliamentary  debate. 

The  Curtis  Clubs  are  debating  or- 
ganizations formed  in  the  four  Uni- 
versity classes,  each  having  its  sep- 
arate club. 

The  Woodford  and  the  Blackstone 
are  the  debating  clubs  of  the  Senior 
and  Junior  law  classes  respectively. 

Most  of  these  organizations  meet 
weekly  in  the  Hall  of  Oratory,  White 
16.

tions are  made  to  fill  vacancies  in  the 
club.  Regular  rehearsals  are  held 
once  a week,  or  oftener,  in  the  club 
rooms,  third  floor,  over  No.  11,  North

Cornell  Co-operative  Society 


The  Cooperative  Society  has  been 
in  existence  one  year  and  has  proved 
itself  of  material  advantage  to  all 
students,  especially  its  members.  It 
was  organized  in  the  interest  of  the 
members  of  the  University,  and  is 
managed  by  them.  It  aims  to  reduce 
the  cost  on  all  books  and  materials 
used  by  students,  and  provide  them 
with  the  least  inconvenience  to  the 
purchaser.  The  “ Co-Op  ” is  located 
in  the  basement  of  Morrill  Hall, 
north  entrance,  and  carries  in  stock 
all  supplies  in  demand.  Specific  or- 
ders guarantee  entire  satisfaction. 
All  sales  are  for  cash.  Prices  are 
arranged  at  a slight  advance  on  the 
cost,  to  enable  the  Society  to  clear 
expense  and  to  yield  some  profit  to 
its  members  in  addition. 

The  fee  for  membership  is  two  dol- 
lars, and  entitles  the  member  to  the 
benefits  of  the  Society  as  long  as  he 
is  connected  with  the  University. 
All  students,  whether  members  or 
not,  may  trade  at  the  store  of  the 
Society.  The  advantages  offered  are 
such  that  new  students  will  do  well 
to  investigate  before  purchasing 
term  supplies. 

The  board  of  directors  consists  of 
a president,  a secretary,  and  seven 
directors,  one  from  the  Faculty  and 
six  from  the  student  body.  Profes- 
sor C.  H.  Hull  is  president  of  the 
board.

Cornell  Songs 

ALMA  MATER 
Air — “ Annie  Lisle  ” 

Far  above  Cayuga’s  waters, 

With  its  waves  of  blue, 

Stands  our  noble  Alma  Mater , 
Glorious  to  view. 

Chorus — 

Lift  the  chorus,  speed  it  onward, 
Loud  her  praises  tell; 

Hail  to  thee,  our  Alma  Mater, 

Hail,  all  hail,  Cornell ! 

Far  above  the  busy  humming 
Of  the  bustling  town, 

Reared  against  the  arch  of  heaven, 
Looks  she  proudly  down. 

Cho. 


THE  CHIMES 

Air— “ Tramp.  Tramp , Tramp.” 

To  the  busy  morning  light, 

To  the  slumbers  of  the  night, 

To  the  labor  and  the  lessons  of  the 
hour, 

With  the  ringing,  rhythmic  tone, 

O’er  the  lake  and  valley  blown, 

Call  the  voices,  watching,  waiting  in 
the  tower. 

Chorus— 

Cling,  clang,  cling,  the  bells  are 
ringing, 

Hope  and  help  their  chiming  tells; 
Through  the  Cascadilla’s  dell, 

’Neath  the  arches  of  Cornell, 

Float  the  melody  and  music  of  the 
bells. 

Not  afraid  to  dare  and  do. 

Let  us  rouse  ourselves  anew, 

With  the  “ knowledge  that  is  victory 
and  power,” 

And  arrayed  in  every  fight, 

On  the  battle  side  of  right, 

Gather  glory  for  our  angel  in  the 
tower. 

Cho.

EVENING  SONG 
Air — “ Maryland .” 

When  the  sun  fades  far  away, 

In  the  crimson  of  the  west, 

And  the  voices  of  the  day 
Murmur  low  and  sink  to  rest, 

Chorus— 

Music  with  the  twilight  falls 
O’er  the  dreaming  lake  and  dell; 

’Tis  an  echo  from  the  walls 
Of  our  own,  our  fair  Cornell. 

Life  is  joyous  when  the  hours 
Move  in  melody  along; 

All  its  happiness  is  ours, 

While  we  join  the  vesper  song. 

Cho. 

Welcome  night,  and  welcome  rest, 
Fading  music,  fare  thee  well; 

Joy  to  all  we  love  the  best, 

Love  to  thee,  our  fair  Cornell ! 

Cho. 


CORNELL 
Air — “ Dearest  Mae .” 

The  soldier  loves  his  gen’ral’s  fame, 
The  willow  loves  the  stream, 

The  child  will  love  its  mother’s  name, 
The  dreamer  love  his  dream; 

The  sailor  loves  his  haven’s  pier, 

The  shadow  loves  the  dell; 

The  student  holds  no  name  so  dear. 
As  thy  good  name,  Cornell. 

Chorus — 

We  ’ll  honor  thee,  Cornell, 

We  ’ll  honor  thee,  Cornell, 

While  breezes  blow 
Or  waters  flow, 

We  ’ll  honor  thee,  Cornell! 

The  soldier  with  his  sword  of  might, 
In  blood  may  write  his  fame; 

The  prince  in  marble  columns  white 
May  deeply  grave  his  name; 

But  graven  on  each  student  heart 
There  shall  unsullied  dwell, 

While  of  this  world  they  are  a part, 
Thy  own  good  name,  Cornell. 

Cho.
